Superb location in middle of old town in a historic building, room packed with objets d'art by trusting owner who has a shop/photographic studio in courtyard. Very helpful in relation to good restaurants, parking, sights etc.

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

Not a problem for us but no live tv (just a small selection of DVDs), and no breakfast. WiFi signal quite weak.

Location was excellent. First class shower and also had a small kitchenette. Well decorated with art

Like a lot of European apartments, there was not lift to our third floor room. It didn't bother us, but if you struggle with stairs, it could create difficulties.

We stayed during winter and the apartment was warm and cosy . It was a large apartment with front windows that allowed any morning light to come through. The apartment was clean and rather 'quirky' which reflected the owner who was an artist. I loved this personal touch throughout the apartment with lots of different pieces of art. It certainly did feel we where in Lyon and not just another sterile hotel apartment !

The wifi in the room had a poor signal but it improved when we placed the repeater box higher near the window. The curtains were pretty but a bit thin given that the tower just outside is lit by large spotlights until 10:30pm.

The location is superb, in the heart of Vieux Lyon and in a 16th century building accessed by a traboule then the beautiful Rose Tower. There is a large bedroom with a snug seating alcove, a beautifully appointed bathroom (shower and toilet/no bath) and a sweet little kitchen with all one needs for a brief stay in Lyon. The view from the windows is of the interior court with terraces and other 16th century buildings painted in shades of ochre. The accommodation is full of objets d'art - sculptures, paintings, etc. - which provide a marvelous, chic and comfortable look. The host, Frederic, was very welcoming and informative about what to see and do in Lyon.

Lyon is a great city but like all cities nowadays parking costs are extortionate although one park is close and secure. owner advised of free parking near his home about 20 mins walk away but proably risky if there are valuables left in vehicle.

Superb location in middle of old town in a historic building, room packed with objets d'art by trusting owner who has a shop/photographic studio in courtyard. Very helpful in relation to good restaurants, parking, sights etc.

What can I say, 75 steps to this particular appartment is average in Europe. Just stay out all day. Pillows a little hard, but thats all.

Supurb location! The room was spacious but 'used', homely and right in amongst the local people. We didn't want or expect 5 star but got a quirky appartment in the best part of Lyon.

Nothing - loved everything about it.

Everything - Frederic's welcome, the room eclectically decorated with his artworks, the comfort and most of all the location - right inside the "Tour Rose" - felt quite smug when tourists visiting this landmark location watched us go up into our room. Close to many wonderful bouchons and full of character.

As the building is a historic landmark, tour groups come through the courtyard, however this was not a big deal.

Great old world charm, artistic decor and fantastic location. Very romantic - our favourite stop while in France. Frederic was extremely pleasant and helpful.
